Bhe spoke on “The Constitution and Its Fathers.” Miss Hattie McIlwee, junior at Busi- iess and the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Branson G. McIlwee of #4009 Ninth street, was next summoned %o speak by Miss May P. Bradshaw, wvice principal of the school, presiding.

Segal, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Segal of 965 Twenty-third street, who was adjudged winner, was the final speaker on the program. His speech this morning was on “The De- velopment of Democracy Under the American Constitution.” ‘The judges of the Business High School finals were: H. Clay Espey, at- torney and president of the Alumni ‘Association of the school; John McGar- raghy, attorney.and member of the association; Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of the Congress of Parent- Teachers’ Associations; Frost Mills, president of the Business Parent- Teachers’ Association, and Miss Maude \Aiton, principal of the Americanization School. Mrs. Rafter announced the composite verdict of the judges. In his vietory in the private and parochial dlstrlct finals yesterday young Butsch scored a triumph pot only over his two opponents, but ove? himself and his previous brand of oratory. Compared with his speech in the group phase of the contest, in which he ‘was impressive, chiefly with the over- whelming power of his voice and gen- eral oratory, Butsch's oration yesterday was highly expressive. ‘While in his first public competluon in the contest he worked at high ten- sion throughout his speech, yesterday he gave variation to his tone 2nd ges- ture. ' If, in his initial showing, he wielded a forensic whip over the heads of his listeners, yesterday he charmed them with a refined eloquence. Looks Like Placer in Finals. Briefly, unless some dire mishap be- falls Butsch or unless he attempts a drastic change in his delivery, this champion of the private and parochial school district seems . certain to land among the placers in The Star finals. ‘The boys and girls who are to face him in that competition should prepare now for & battle.

Speaking on “What the Constitution Should Mean to Us,” this orator, who broke through in an emer- | win the group meet at Catholic Univer- sity for his school when its champion was stricken ill a few days before the meet, presented an oration which, in its culture, feeling and richness in quality, could not have been greatly out- distanced by any student orator.

Speak- ing on “The cmun Hls Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution,” Gunther began his oration in & voice, so much lighter in tone than his two oppo- nents, that he seemed hardly a con- tender, so far as oratory alone was con- cerned. But, before many of his allowed 10 minutes had tacked off, this boy had risen to oratorical heights that pltud him with his opponents in serious con- sideration. The content of his speech was notable in its material, handling and construction, and when he con- cluded with a burst of high quality ora- tory, Gunther was being considered seriously. by the board of judges. It is not often that the low-point totals of the contestants are revealed, but in yesterday's meet, the race was 5o close that it is only fair to the three boys that their respective rating should be made known. Butsch won the cham- plonship with a total of 9; Downey won position of alternate with a 10, and Gunther completed the fleld with an 11.

The St. John's rooters jumped up and down in their seats, yelling happiness over the verdict. Downey seized Butsch's hand to wring it in congratulation.
